Abstract. The aim of this work is to accelerate the task of evolutionary image filter design using coevolution of candidate filters and training vectors subsets. Two coevolutionary methods are implemented and compared for this task in the framework of Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP). Experimental results show that only 15–20% of original training vectors are needed to find an image filter which provides the same quality of filtering as the best filter evolved using the standard CGP which utilizes the whole training set. Moreover, the median time of evolution was reduced 2.99 times in comparison with the standard CGP.
